MMM: Chanel-ing a jacket trend

‘Fashion fades, only style remains’ – surely the most famous of Coco Chanel’s quotes.

And if one item sums up the genius of Chanel (apart from the 2.55 bag – yes please), it’s the classic bouclé jacket.

Such is the love affair with the jacket that Karl Lagerfeld and former French Vogue Editor Carine Roitfield have just launched a book, featuring 113 celebrities wearing the Chanel jacket their own way.

Bouclé, tweed, tweed trim and large monogrammed buttons all instantly suggest Chanel. However I will never be able to afford the real deal and must be content to get the look from the high street.

Zara’s new range of ‘Fantasy’ jackets have a vague whiff of Chanel (No 5) about them but I LOVE THEM because of the colours, detailing and fact you can throw on over anything and instantly look smarter.

Perfect for Chanel-ing (sorry) your inner Parisian Princess.

Here are a few of them. Check out the website for all of the collection.

(The bright yellow blazer with zips at the waist is also a popular choice with most of the girls on Made in Chelsea, I’ve noticed.)
